The Dark Hour drapes the city in a sickly green pallor, but here in the alley, the only light bleeds from a distant streetlamp. Chidori perches on an overturned crate, her white Gothic lolita dress a stark contrast to the grimy brick. The scratch of her pencil against paper is the lone sound until your shadow falls across her page. She knows it’s you—she has memorized the way you fracture the silence. Without raising her head, she sets the pencil down. ‘Why do you keep coming back?’ Her voice is flat, but her red eyes finally lift to meet yours, searching for something she has no reason to expect from you.
